Metal detection and X-ray inspection traditionally have been the first line of defense to identify the presence of foreign contaminants in food products before they have the chance to leave the processing plant. However, how about the packaging itself?<\/p>\n<p>If your food is wrapped in a plastic, which usually consists of\u00a0a polymer multi-layer film, you may want to ensure the film is doing its job before you pass your product on to consumers. In food packaging, polymer laminates are used not only to protect the food, but also to retain aroma and flavors, and to extend shelf life.<\/p>\n<p>According to the\u00a0USDA, because packaging touches the meat, it is considered an indirect additive because chemicals in packaging can migrate into the food. Any material intended for use in food packaging must be formulated in compliance with FDA requirements for its intended use. Here is an excerpt from the USDA site:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><em>Meat and poultry products may not be packaged in a container composed of any substances that may adulterate the contents or be injurious to health. Packaging materials entering a meat or poultry plant must be accompanied or covered by a guaranty or statement of assurance from the packaging supplier. The guaranty must state that the material complies with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). It must also state the brand name, supplier, and conditions for use, including temperature and other limits\u2026.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, strictly controlling the quality and composition of these films is important to the manufacturers of polymer film, the food processors, and to the customers who are walking down that grocery store aisle. The last thing a host wants to encounter on the morning of a holiday or special dinner is a spoiled turkey, fish, ham, or roast. And the last thing a food processor wants is to violate FDA regulations.<\/p>\n<p>Because food processors adhere to strict quality control procedures, including analysis of the products used in the plant, plastics manufacturers must do the same. Polymer\u00a0multi-layer\u00a0films are made by co-extrusion and lamination techniques, which are polymer\u00a0processing technologies capable of producing films with improved barrier and mechanical properties. But sometimes problems can occur during film manufacture.\u00a0Multi-layer films can encounter problems like introduction of defect particles and separation of the layers.<\/p>\n<p>Current analytical methods used to control the quality and composition of these films during and after production include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/us\/en\/home\/industrial\/spectroscopy-elemental-isotope-analysis\/molecular-spectroscopy\/uv-vis-spectrophotometry.html?icid=CAD_blog_food_2016Jan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nuclear Magnetic Resonance<\/a> (NMR)\u00a0and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).\u00a0Many film manufacturers also rely on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/us\/en\/home\/industrial\/spectroscopy-elemental-isotope-analysis\/molecular-spectroscopy\/raman-microscopy.html?icid=CAD_blog_food_2016Jan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Raman spectroscopy<\/a>\u00a0to provide a means of analysis and quality control because Raman provides definitive molecular information. The technique is highly sensitive to small changes in molecular backbone and branching configurations and is thus ideal for polymer identification.\u00a0Spectral differences can be exploited to estimate thickness of the constituent layers, while searching spectral libraries identify their composition. The technique is also ideal for identifying the source and identity of defects and inclusions in polymer films.
